steam and oil supplied. thereto will mix at the oint of discharge, thetwo fluids being disc arged in broad sheets so located as to insure acomplete mixing of the fluids and the production of an intense flame. r

Another object is to provide a burner which can be cheaply manufactured,and the parts of which can be readily separated for the urpose ofcleaning the same.

ith the foregoing and'other objects in view. which will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in the com bin-ation andarrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed and claimed, it being understood that changes in the preciseembodiment of the invention herein disclosed, can bemade within thescope of what is claimed, without.

de arting from the spirit of the invention.

11 the accom anying drawings the pre-' ferred forms of the inventionhave been shown.

In said drawings Figure 1 is a central vertical longitudinal sectionthrough a burner embodying the present improvements.

Fig. 2 is a section on line 2-2 Flg. 1.

Fig. 3 is a section on line 3 3 Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a bottom plan view of the cap of the burner.

Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 1 but showing a modified form ofburner.'

Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 designates themain section of burner. the me ing substantiall semispherical andproject from-an 2 formed with a recess 3 the wall f hi is screw threadedas shown. The member 1 of the burner has a recess 4 and the flat face ofthis member constitutes a seat for ,a disk 5 which fits snugly againstthe arm '2 d has its periphery'flush Wlth the exterior surface. of themember 1. A substantially semi-spherical cap 6 rests on the mar-Patented May 13, 1919.

ginal portion of the disk 5 and, with the peripheral portion of saiddisk and with the member 1, eol lnpletes a substantially ballshapednozzle. e cap is held inposition preferably by bolts 7 extending throu hthe cap, disk and member 1 at diametrical y opposed points, recesses 8being preferably provided in the member 1 and cap 6 for the reception ofthe heads of the bolts and the nuts 9 g said bolts. This arrangementofparts is shown clearly in Fig. 2.

A recess 10 is formed in that face of the -d1sk 5- engaged by the cap 6,this recess extending from a point adjacent the center of the disk tothefieriphery thereof, thus form-W t 11 bridged over by a por :1;-

ing an outlet tlon of the periphery of the cap 6. A corresponding recess12 is formed in the other face of the disk 5 and extends to theperiphery of the disk where it is bridged by the periph outlet sht 13.The recess 12 is not'as deep of the member 1, thus forming an as therecess 10 and, consequently, the slit 13--- is not as broad as the slit11.

A port li'extends through the arm 2 and into the compartment 15 providedbetween the disk 5 and the bottom of the member 1. Another port 16 opensinto'the other compartment 1! in the burner and is preferably tapered asshown, this port 16 communicatlug-with a threaded opening lS formed inthe arm Q. Said opening isadapted to receive the threaded portion 19 ofa feed pipe '20, said pipe being preferably formed with a taperedportion 21 adapted to become wedgedwithin the tapered port 16.

P1pe20 is designed to-feed hydrocarbon fuel to the compartment 17 whilethe arm 2 is adapted to be coupled to a steam pipe which will supplysteam, through port 14, to the compartment 15.

Fuel-will be discharged in a thin sheet through the slit 11 while steamwill discharge in another thin sheet through the slit 13, the ,twosheets mixing outside of the burner to form a highly combustible fuel.

It has been found that a burner such as described can be used inconnection with oil of very low gravity and the oil will atomize withasteam pressure as 'l0w,as ten pounds.

tion of steam and oil pressures and will effect .a considerable savlngof steam and Oil.

Itiwill'bperate efiiciently with a wide varia- The construction of theburner is such that it is able to withstand very rough usage and willrequire practically no repairs. The

device can be-constructed as shown in Fig.

'5. In this construction the base member 22 has a central boss 23 andthe cap 24 also has a central boss 25 The interposed disk 26 has arecess 27 at the center of each face A thereof and each face of the diskis reduced at its periphery as shown at 28. Thus When the parts areassembled the reduced marginal portions of the disk will fit snuglybetween the base member 22 and the cap 24 while the inner ends of thebosses 23 and .Will rest within the recesses 27. A single bolt 29 can beextended through the bosses as shown. Instead of providing channels orrecesses extending outwardly between the base member and the cap, saidbase member and .cap are each formed with a recess 30 and31-respectively through which fluid will flow in sheets.

What is claimed is:

1. A hydrocarbon burner including an arm for engagement with a steamsupply pipe, a substantially semi-spherical base member extending fromthe arm and having a port communicating with the interior of the arm,that portion of the arm above the base member constituting an abutmentand having an opening therein, a substantially semi-spherical capmounted at its periphery above the base, a disk interposed between andgripped by the marginal portions of the base member and car and dividingthe interior of the burner into separate compartments, means extendingthrough the cap, disk and base member for holding them together, therebeing depressions in opposed faces of the disk and between the marginsof the base member and cap and forming outlets, and a fuel conductingpipe extending through the abutment on the arm and into the cap.

2. A hydrocarbon burner including an arm for engagement with a steamsupply 'pipe, a substantially semi-spherical base member extending fromthe arm and havin a port communicatin with the interior 0% the arm, asubstantia ly semi-spherical cap having a flat face adapted to bearagainst one end of the arm to hold the cap against rotation, a diskinterposed between the marginal portions of the base member and the capand having depressions in opposed faces and between the cap and basemember to form outlets, bosses extending inwardly from the base memberand cap, there being recesses in the disk for the reception of the endsof the bosses, means extending through the bosses and disk for clampingthe base member and cap upon the disk, and an oil supply pipe extendingfrom the arm and -into the cap.

In testimony my own I have hereto aflixed my signature in the presenceof two witnesses.
